Person talk:William Bradley (30)

Savage errors [3 June 2012]

There appear to be at least 3 errors in the Savage quotation about Daniel Bradley quoted on this page. There was no widow; William is clearly called a half-brother, not brother; and the obvious date error which should say Dec 1658 (which in turn appears to be based on the date of inventory 4 Jan 1658/59). See under Daniel III for a transcription of the probate documents. Cutter reports the date as Dec 1653, but that would make Daniel too young for a probate at all, so that is also clearly an error. --Jrich 23:55, 3 June 2012 (EDT)

Oops, four errors. The oath was 1657 too, as he would not be of age in 1637. --Jrich 23:57, 3 June 2012 (EDT)

Oops, two errors. The error in the death date and the oath date of 1637 appear to be errors on this page. The copy of Savage on books.google.com gives oath in 1657 and d. Dec. 1658, which are both correct. --Jrich 00:06, 4 June 2012 (EDT)
